In the afternoon of the first day of the program, Mr Söder will be holding his address on the Main Stage. The Minister President of Bavaria, known for his affinity to industry and high-tech will use this opportunity to dialogue and offer a short Q&A session to participants.

In a well-conceived and compelling program for the virtual SPS Connect, the SPS team has focused on the relevant topics from the field of automation ranging from cybersecurity, production IT, robotics, functional safety, motion, DC infrastructure, and AI to intelligent operating concepts, sensor technology, industry 4.0, digital twins, and industrial communication. The interactive event will further delve into these topics in keynote sessions, expert talks, discussion panels, and contributions from exhibitors.

Highlights include a range of talks. Professor Thomas R. Köhler, researcher and expert on deep tech, for example, will be delivering a keynote talk on “Cyber security on the factory floor” on Thursday afternoon. In addition to typical attack scenarios, Professor Köhler will present possible solutions and provide concrete indications for more security in industry.

“Using service robot modules successfully and safely in intralogistics” is the focus of the talk by Dr. Manuel Schön, Product Manager Robotic, PM Controller from Pilz GmbH & Co. KG. Dr. Schön, expert in this dynamic field, will be featured on Thursday afternoon.

Matthias Loskyll, Director Advanced Artificial Intelligence from Siemens AG Factory Automation, will be presenting insights into the current topic of AI in his talk on “Industrial Artificial Intelligence – Future of Automation” on Wednesday afternoon. This will be complemented by further contributions in this area, for example a talk on “Artificial intelligence and IoT – drivers for industrial value generation” by Dr. Josef Waltl, Principal Group Program Manager, Industrial IoT/Manufacturing from Microsoft Deutschland GmbH.

However, as with the on-site event, the SPS Connect will be facilitating numerous possibilities to Connect and exchange ideas. Upholding its reputation as a “working fair”, the virtual event will host a series of talks allowing deep exchange. These talks include, for example, a session on “Future of Industrial Communication - The Global Production Language OPC UA” which will feature representatives from the OPC Foundation, TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co.KG, and the HOMAG Group.

As ever, industry 4.0 is a major focal point in the industry, and comes to the fore in an expert discussion entitled “The Digital Twin - Heart of Industry 4.0”.
